  • Patent number: 6235140
    Abstract: A process for the manufacture of decorative intermediate films used in laminated glass sheets which comprises the following steps: (a) forming a transfer sheet with a desired printed pattern printed over a transfer sheet substrate with an ink capable of dyeing an intermediate film made of a thermoplastic resin and used in a laminated glass sheet; (b) applying over the printed pattern surface of the transfer sheet thus obtained and/or the surface of the intermediate film, a solvent composition capable of softening to some extent the vehicle of the printing ink and the intermediate film; (c) superposing the surface of the printed pattern over the surface of the intermediate film through the solvent-composition-coated surface and then pressing them against each other at a low temperature less than the glass transition point of the intermediate film, thereby transferring and impregnating the printed pattern over and into the surface of the intermediate film; and (d) separating the transfer sheet substrate from th

  • Patent number: 4817005
    Abstract: A method of designing a cubic receptacle which determines the form of the receptacle in consideration of an internal capacity of the receptacle or an amount of material required for manufacturing the receptacle to prepare a two-dimensional pictorial image of the receptacle of which form is thus determined with a label being attached thereon to appraise the pictorial image thus obtained. To carry out the above design, a computer and various input/output units are used.In addition, a designing method particularly suitable for determining the form of a receptacle of body of revolution. Such a determination of the form is made using a coordinate input unit.Moreover, a technique is provided for representing a three-dimensional body in a two-dimensional manner, especially to a techique for representing a cubic receptacle on which a label is attached in a two-dimensional manner. In addition, a special algorithm is used for representing an impression of material quality of the receptacle.
